Redwood Burl HF

[John Hart]

Hi All,
I'm in a pretty good mood that I didn't ruin this one. It's a piece of Redwood Burl that I got from Berea Hardwoods. I really like working with this wood and like the eyes it gives off. It still needs another coat of lacquer and buffed but I got all excited. 8" high and 5" diameter. Thanks for lookin'!

John,

Now that's pretty wood. I like the shape too - great job. Even the finish looks good in the picture.

John you did well on this piece. Love the wood and finish is great. Great work.

WOW, WOW, Wow! That is cool. First you turned a nice shaped vase, second the wood is beautiful and the finish looks pefect. Is Berea's wood wet and wild or dry and sly? :)

That is really nice John, now I know what it looks like. I have a piece to turn and was wondering what it would look like. Thanks

Great work, John! This is a good one all the way around!

Thanks for the pictures!

[Keith Burns]

Very nice John:) I just don't know how you find the time to turn, what with all the horse shopping you have to do:D

[Jim Becker]

A beauty, John. Redwood burl is very nice to turn, although a little dusty sometimes. As you've proved, it finishes up beautifully!

[John Hart]

Thanks everyone!!! Yep...it's a pretty fun wood to turn. Like Jim says, it's a tad dusty since it's completely dry....but that also means a single day project.:) It does have a tendency to crack if you are too aggressive with the tools though. I try to be careful.

Thanks again!

[Jim Dunn]

Real nice piece of wood John. Beautiful finish!
